查找和控制以太网看门狗定时器

Question

我有一个带有Broadcom以太网端口的debian linux盒子（Debian Squeeze），如果我在嗅探界面之前运行ethtool来修改NIC缓冲区，那么每隔几个小时就会死锁。

据我所知，内核看门狗定时器正在跳闸......

NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth3 (bnx2): transmit queue 0 timed out

我认为有一种方法可以通过系统ioctl调用来控制看门狗定时器（参考：EmbeddedFreak: How to use linux watchdog）。

问题

如何找到哪个看门狗定时器控制eth3？如果您可以告诉我如何更改计时器甚至禁用看门狗，那么奖励积分......

您提供的链接讨论了系统监视程序设备，如果系统停止响应，可以使用该设备强制重新启动计算机。这与网络接口驱动程序或内核的其他部分中的看门狗定时器没有任何关系。用户空间通常无法访问这些内容;你必须深入挖掘适当的网卡驱动程序，看看发生了什么。
